THE  EXPOSITION 


Words  fail  in  its  descripti*  Yet  a  few  comments  and  suggestions  seem  in  order  to  preface  a  booklet 
which,  while  so  unpretending  ears  so  many  pictures  of  the  great  epee’  1  show.  First,  the  Exposition 
marks  the  finish  of  the  gret  :anal.  It  is  done!  It  is  held  in  the  State  whose  early  civilization  was 
founded  by  a  class  of  Spanish  ligionists  whose  devout  pioneer  lives  are  yet  an  inspiration  and  incentive  to 
pure,  useful  and  noble  lives.  e  goal  of  youthful  ambitions  and  the  fond  objective  of  maturer  years,  Cali¬ 
fornia,  the  hostess  State,  is  of  most  absorbing  interest  in  the  contemplation  of  her  past  and  of  her  future  life 
and  greatness.  Near  the  Golden  Gate,  on  the  shores  of  the  beauteous  inland  sea,  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco, 
which  romance  has  made  known  to  all  the  world,  have  been  built  these,  exhibit  halls.  Here  nurtured  to  a 
wonderfully  successful  issue  by  a  people  not  one  whit  behind  the  most  enterprising  community  the  world 
over,  is  the  finished  Fair,  a  marvel  to  all.  Here  rises  a  group  of  magnificent  palaces  with  courts  and  pil¬ 
lared  passways  greater,  more  elaborate  and  more  beautiful  than  ever  seen  by  man  before.  Here  are  har¬ 
monies  of  light,  by  day,  and  softened  illumination,  by  night,  more  beautiful  than  ever  before  dreamt  of. 
For  research  and  for  helpful  suggestion  the  Exposition  is  immeasurably  valuable.  For  illustrating  the 
accomplishments  of  man  and  shadowing  the  work  of  time  it  is  an  unsurpassable  volume.  There  is,  as  well, 
the  readily  seen  pleasure-seekers’  side,  everywhere!  We  would  miss  the  true  worth  of  all  this  could  we 
not  join  in  thought  with  the  immortal  McKinley,  who  said:  “Expositions  are  the  timekeepers  of  progress. 
They  record  the  world’s  advancement.  They  stimulate  the  energy,  enterprise  and  intellect  of  the  people  and 
quicken  human  genius.  They  go  into  the  home.  They  broaden  and  brighten  the  daily  life  of  the  people. 
They  open  mighty  storehouses  of  information  to  the  student.  Every  exposition,  great  or  small,  has  helped  to 
some  onward  step.  Comparison  of  ideas  is  always  educational  and  as  such  instructs  the  brain  and  hand  of 
man.  Friendly  rivalry  follows,  which  is  the  spur  to  industrial  improvement,  the  inspiration  to  useful  invention 
and  to  high  endeavor  in  all  departments  of  human  activity.” 


1.  THE  SOUTH  GARDENS  2.  NIGHT  ILLUMINATION  OF  THE  SOUTH  GARDENS 

The  South  Gardens  embrace  the  entire  territory  between  the  Horticultural  Building  and  Festival  Hall.  The 
illuminating  system  adopted  at  the  Exposition  is  the  culminating  example  of  recent  attainment  in  lighting  great, 
areas  which  has  been  accomplished  in  the  electrical  world. 


AN  EXPOSITION  AUDIENCE 

The  scene  represents  a  great  concourse  of  people  gathered  upon  the  Plaza  in  the  South  Gardens.  It  indicates 
the  loyal  spirit  of  the  people  of  California  towards  the  Exposition,  which  is  exhibited  upon  all  important  occasions. 


THE  SOUTH  GARDENS  FROM  THE  PALACE  OF  HORTICULTURE 


This  beautiful  scene,  showing  the  Festival  Hall,  the  Italian  Towers,  at  the  entrance  to  the  Court  of  Flowers, 
and  other  beautiful  features,  pictures  the  principal  gardens  on  the  exposition  grounds.  They  are  situated  just  inside 
the  Main  entrance. 


THE  TOWER  OF  JEWELS  AND  SOUTH  GARDENS 

“Glittering  like  a  gem-studded  monument  of  one  of  the  fabled  cities  of  old,  the  Tower  of  Jewels  halts  all 
passersby  and  compels  attention.  Whether  seen  by  day,  when  its  gems  flash  like  raindrops,  or  caught  in  the 
projected  beams  of  a  battery  of  concealed  searchlights  at  night,  with  every  jewel  sending  an  answering  ray  back 
into  the  darkness,  the  tower  is  easily  one  of  the  strongest  memories  that  lives  after  a  visit  to  the  Exposition.” 


THE  TOWER  OF  JEWELS  ILLUMINATED 

When  illuminated  the  Tower  of  Jewels  becomes  a  great  body  of  glowing  colors.  The  view  shows  the  rays 
from  the  scintillators  being  thrown  over  the  entire  group  of  exhibit  palaces. 


CARDER’S  FOUNTAIN  OF  ENERGY 

This  is  the  main  central  picture  feature  of  the  South  Gardens.  With  its  flashing  silvery  spray  it  is  a  constant 
source  of  delight  to  beholders.  It  typifies  Energy,  the  “Lord  of  the  Isthmian  Way,”  overcoming  the  barriers 
which  separated  the  oceans. 


The  Palace  of  Horticulture  to  the  left,  the  Italian  Towers  at  the  entrance  to  the  Court  of  Palms  to  the  right, 
and  California  palms  along  this  avenue  make  a  magnificent  setting  for  Exposition  exercises.

FOUNTAIN  OF  THE  RISING  SUN,  COURT  OF  THE  UNIVERSE 

The  figure  of  the  youth  with  outstretched  wings  which  surmounts  the  column,  seeming  to  be  about  to  soar 
into  the  air,  typifies  the  Rising  Sun.  It  is  one  of  the  art  features  of  the  Court  of  the  Universe. 


MULLGARDT’S  TOWER,  COURT  OF  ARUNDANCE 

The  Court  of  Abundance,  designed  by  Louis  C.  Mullgardt,  shows  in  the  inner  facade  and  the  general  detail 
the  effect  of  the  Oriental  phase  of  the  Spanish-Moorish  type  of  architecture.

Universe  are  at  the  end  of  the  lagoon. 


PALACE  OF  FINE  ARTS 

The  pervading  theme  of  this  building,  which  is  a  steel  structure  1100  feet  long,  built  in  the  arc  of  a  circle,  is 
Grecian,  with  a  colonnade  of  tall  pillars  and  a  central  temple  of  Grecian  type.  Not  only  paintings  and  sculpture, 
but  tapestries,  jewelry,  mosaics,  inlays,  carvings,  and  fabrics  such  as  laces  and  rugs  are  exhibited. 


THE  PALACE  OF  HORTICULTURE

is  160  feet  high  and  is  surrounded  by  numerous  towers  and  minarets.  The  building  is  672  feet  long  and  320  teet 
wide. 


PALACE  OF  HORTICULTURE  ILLUMINATED 

A  striking  feature  of  the  night  illumination  is  the  lighting  of  the  Palace  of  Horticulture.  It  is  startling 
to  see  the  dome  of  this  building  suddenly  aglow  with  a  mellow  light,  assuming  all  the  iridescence  of  an  immense 
opal.

buildings  upon  the  Exposition  grounds.

Administration  Avenue  leads  adown  from  the  Baker  Street  entrance  past  the  Inside  Inn,  the  Palaces  of 
Education  and  Food  Products  to  the  Esplanade.  It  takes  its  name  from  the  fact  that  the  executive  offices  of  the 
exposition  are  situated  in  that  part  of  the  California  Building  fronting  upon  this  thoroughfare.

tion,  and  Liberal  Arts,  every  decorative  feature  of  statuary,  mural  painting,  and  sculpture  carries  the  idea  of

Orient  and  the  Occident.  Sunken  gardens,  luxuriant  with  tropical  plants  and  flowers,  pools  reflecting  the  facades
